Reread.
Sadly, this time I noticed how cringe the book actually is, but 25% in didn’t notice it anymore. I still like Edward even though I knew that the age difference is weird but you know who cares, it’s a book and it’s a product of its time. Bella really had to be not like other girls but also self deprecating

i forgot how cheesy this book is. i definitely enjoyed the nostalgic part of rereading this for the first time since middle school, and i will probably finish the rest of the series while i am at it. however, i also remember this being better from the last time i read it. 

the romance aspect is exceptionally cheesy and pretty toxic.

2 teenagers falling in love with each other after 1 kiss and both of them being pined after by every girl and guy and school was very cringey and eye roll inducing. bella being creeped on by every guy under the sun was also ridiculous. shout out to alice for being the best character ever
